KnowMe: Global Talent and Skills Management for Orange Cyberdefense 

Completion date

Challenge

Orange Cyberdefense’s global organization faced the challenge of optimizing the management of highly specialized experts.

In a distributed organization, the lack of a centralized tool for quickly identifying specialists with niche qualifications forced managers to rely on time-consuming, manual selection processes. 

Another obstacle was the lack of a standardized, automated process for preparing resumes in response to customer requests for proposals. This significantly extended response times and made it more difficult to support sales processes effectively. 

Solution

BlueSoft designed and implemented the advanced KnowMe platform, tailored to the unique needs of Orange Cyberdefense. The system enables comprehensive knowledge mapping and the rapid allocation of talent. 

The implementation included: 

  • Skills Profiles 

Each expert can create a digital portfolio containing detailed information about their skills, experience, education, language proficiency, certifications, and more. 

  • Advanced Search 

This module enables users to filter the employee database based on any combination of requirements, divided into “must-have” and “nice-to-have” criteria. As a result, the ideal candidate can be identified from within the organization in just a few seconds. 

  • Request Tracker 

This tool transforms the way project teams are assembled by opening the process to broader collaboration. The platform enables users to register requests that can be answered not only by internal departments, but also by all companies within the group and verified external suppliers and partners. 

The system then guides selected experts smoothly through every stage of the recruitment process. Detailed event tracking ensures full control and transparency throughout the process. 

  • Resume Generator 

This feature enables users to instantly create professional resumes in PDF or DOCX format based on employee profile data. The generator supports multiple languages and templates, as well as the anonymization of expert and project information for proposal purposes. 

  • Global Skills Mapping 

An interactive map and advanced reports provide a real-time view of the distribution and concentration of specific certifications and key competencies across different regions of the world. 

  • Dictionaries 

A comprehensive dictionary module supports the organization’s international operations. It enables users to define and translate categories of certifications, skills, and service packages into multiple languages. 

Results

The implementation of the KnowMe platform at Orange Cyberdefense: 

  • Significantly reduced the time required to identify experts with niche profiles through intuitive filters and an advanced search engine.
